NBA超級巨星鄧肯宣佈退役 19年傳奇生涯正式結束大綱

San Antonio Spurs forward Tim Duncan announced Monday his retirement after 19 seasons with San Antonio.
在NBA征戰了19個賽季後，聖安東尼奧馬刺隊的前鋒蒂姆·鄧肯於週一正式宣佈退役。

Commissioner Adam Silver issued a statement about Duncan's announcement, saying, "Tim Duncan is one of the most dominant players in NBA history. His devotion to excellence and mastery of the game led to five NBA championships, two regular-season MVP awards and a place among the all-time greats, while his understated selflessness made him the ultimate teammate."
NBA總裁亞當·蕭華髮布了一則有關鄧肯的聲明。在聲明中他寫道：“蒂姆·鄧肯是NBA歷史上最具有統治力的球員之一。他永遠力求完美，掌控比賽，這也讓他得到了5次NBA總冠軍和兩次常規賽最有價值球員。他也成爲了歷史上最偉大的球員之一。鄧肯的無私並沒有得到相應的讚譽，他詮釋了什麼是最好的隊友。”

"For two decades Tim represented the Spurs, the city of San Antonio and the league with passion and class. All of us in the NBA family thank him for his profound impact on the game."
“在這20年間，蒂姆代表了馬刺隊，代表了聖安東尼奧這座城市，代表了整個聯盟。NBA大家庭中的所有人都要感謝他，因爲他對比賽產生了深遠的影響。”

Originally selected by the Spurs as the No. 1 overall pick in the 1997 NBA Draft, Duncan, 40, helped San Antonio reach the playoffs in each of his 19 seasons.
被馬刺隊於1997年NBA選秀大會上以第一順位選中的鄧肯，今年已經40歲了，在他效力的19個賽季當中，他都幫助聖安東尼奧進入了季後賽。

After this last season, it became apparent Duncan took a major step back physically. He wasn't able to do the things that made him a future Hall of Fame player, which is understandable considering he turned 40.
上個賽季，鄧肯已經明顯力不從心。作爲未來的名人堂成員，鄧肯已經達不到自己過去的高度了--考慮到他40歲的年齡，這一切又是如此的理所當然。

He, along with Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, created a dynasty in San Antonio, making it a fearful team for years in the NBA. The trio has the NBA record for most wins by three players in both the regular season (575) and postseason (126). Led by coach Gregg Popovich, Duncan also has the most wins for a player-coach duo in NBA history (1,001).
鄧肯和託尼·帕克，馬努·吉諾比利一道開創了聖安東尼奧馬刺王朝，多年來一直令聯盟諸隊聞風喪膽。三人聯手共計贏下了575場常規賽和126場季後賽，這兩項數據皆爲史上最高。而他和波波維奇的組合贏下了1001場比賽，在球員教練雙人組合的戰績排行榜上同樣位列第一。

He'll be remembered mostly for his playoff dominance, as he's the only player to log 9,000 career minutes in the postseason.
此外，他也是季後賽歷史上唯一一名出戰了9000分鐘的球員，他在季後賽的成就將爲人們所銘記。

Duncan won five NBA titles, two NBA MVP (2002, 2003) and three NBA Finals MVP (1999, 2003 and 2005). In his NBA career, the 15-time All-Star appeared in a total of 1,392 games and averaged 19.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.17 blocks in 34.0 minutes.
鄧肯共拿下五次NBA總冠軍，2次NBA最有價值球員（2002年、2003年）以及3次NBA總決賽最有價值球員（1999年、2003年、2005年）。在他的NBA職業生涯當中，這位15屆全明星總共出場1392場，在場均34分鐘的上場時間裏拿下19分、10.8個籃板、3個助攻以及2.17次蓋帽。
